The Optiplex 790 is running Windows 7 64 bit. I want to put a 1TB SSD,
load Windows 10 64 bit on the SSD and make it the primary hard drive and
the existing 500GB hard drive containing Windows 7 as the
secondary. I watched the video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmFbrBkauBc and estimate the...

The Optiplex is required to connect to three networks so we need to add
two additional Network Interface Cards.
The machine can support only 8GB maximum RAM from

The current graphic card is AMD Firepro 4800
https://www.amd.com/Documents/ati-firepro-v4800-datasheet.pdf
It was working OK till now, but now we are seeing many lines on the
desktop and lot of things are like redacted text.
I updated the graphic card driver to the latest one from...

I have a 500VA Patriot (brand) UPS that has been working fine for many
many years.
I have a "mini" computer hooked to it, one that uses a "mini" PSU
mounted above the CPU which is also used to cool the CPU. It is very
loud, so I decided to re-case the machine and use a standard PSU and the...

Dell Inspiron about 6 yrars old. First startup or waking from sleep,
in a given day, and the CD drive is "jazzed" up then coasts back down
taking a couple of seconds. Makes no difference if the drive has a
disk or not. In the paast I noted this only infrequently, about every
month or so, but now...

I'm running an ATI HD7770 (with a QX9650 CPU) but the game I play is getting
more and more complex. Also apparently it's better optimised for nVidia
cards rather than ATI / AMD.
So I need an affordable card that doesn't draw (much) more power than the
HD7770 (~120w). Obviously it should be...

Hi,
I have a Microsoft SS software RAID with two hard drives. Now
CrystalDiskInfo says the raw count for Reallocated Sectors Count is 2 on one
HDD. I like to get some lead time so I can purchase a cheap 480 GB SSD on
eBay. How bad it is it? Should I wait for the count to increase before I...

I have inherited a HP PC 2026 that is working great even with W10.
But it seems to have a keyboard problem that I do not know how to
overcome. When I boot up, I see 'keyboard error' flash on the screen
at the start of boot. Other than that the keyboard works fine when
W10 is up and running. ...

I've just junked yet another inkjet printer for parts (PSU mainly) and, as
with the last one I see that there is more ink in the silicone tubes that go
to the waste sponge and dried into the sponge itself than ever went onto
paper during the ~2 years and ~3 sets of carts.
How do they get away...

We got two HPZ210 small form factor
https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-z210-small-form-factor-workstation/5053190/manuals
computers from another area, but they don't have a hard disk as well as
the data and power cables which connect to them.
1. Can an SSD like...

I looked at the specs
http://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Lenovo%20Laptops/Lenovo%20G50/Lenovo_G50_Platform_Specifications.pdf
and it mentions SSHD with 8GB NAND flash memory.
1. Will any 2.5inch SSD work with the Lenovo 50-45 model 80E30181US laptop?
2. Is any brand like Western Digital...

My buddy needs a new laptop, his is over 6 yrs old, runs out of RAM and
slows down often, and crashes when more than 2GB RAM is installed! A
computer shop spent 2 hrs with him trying to install more RAM, then get
it working again when it crashed each time. Due to its age we think it's
smart to...

Well I have the new video card that's working. IDK what the name is.
I've googled device id 0x4752. That's what XP x64 tells me it is. I google
and don't get some of the things others get. IDK how to google or something.
The resolution with this thing si a problem. It's 1024x768. And 24...

About 2 out of 3 times, when waking out of a sleep state over night, I
get several seconds of a sound, like something winding down.
After, everything is normal.
Happens only after an overnight sleep. During any other time, no
sound.
Sounds for all the world like something mechanical, but fans...
